Love Songs Of The Seventies album commercial

[66catman]

I can find them on youtube . time life is dead

[elc1960]

As others have noted, this is chock full of songs that aren't even love songs, but are just mellow. This is like that Southern Rock collection they had a few years ago ("Goin' South"), that had songs by great "Southern Rock" bands like The Band and Pat Travers (from Canada), and even more weird was their inclusion of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring, who were neither from the Southern USA nor North American, for that matter. (They were from HOLLAND.)

[elc1960]

The woman singing "The Morning After" was Maureen McGovern, who was also the woman who sang the song in that PSA "VD Is For Everybody".

[dvoetberg]

FYI, the 800 number doesn't work anymore.

[TheTxBandit]

no c.o.d's please lol

[bjroberts65]

REAL music by REAL musicians....Not like the crap we have today.

[Quantanthead]

I used to have "The Morning After" 45 when I was a kid. I loved that movie and song. Just couldn't get enough.

[nickatdusk]

I like how the voiceover guy says "the greatest artists of our time", then they proceed to play songs by such superstars as Michael Murphy, Billy Swan, Andy Kim, and the LEGENDARY Peter McCann

[elc1960]

@nickatdusk Michael Murphey became a country music star in the early '80s and had a long string of hits. The sarcasm toward those other names you gave was understandable, though.

[visor109]

@nickatdusk Andy Kim, a Neil Diamond wanna-be,

[sparwood8]

What makes me almost SAD is the ad vor the Vinyls. At $10 a pop they were cheap, even back then. Best sound reporduction EVER.. Unlike the tinny DVD's of today. A & B sound in Vancouver in the mid 70's = $5 for an album

[kycruisecrazy]

what ever happened to music??

[setenteromusic]

FANTASTIC SONGS!

What a years....The best time of the music (60-70s)

[n8tureboy]

@setenteromusic

I'd have to include the 80's into the mix, after that music went to Hell in a hand basket! 

[mrm64]

i remember this commerical! i was like 5 :)

[msannomalley]

If I'm not mistaken, "The Morning After" is the theme song from The Poseiden Adventure, which is a disaster movie. Did the people who put this album together not actually listen to the songs they picked?

[priestpega]

It was a hit on the radio much like Celine Dion's "My Heart Goes On" from another disaster movie "Titanic". Where the song comes from is irrelevant as long as is a great.

[InfamousShad]

My iPod's chock full of 70s songs like these. :)

[yesman1062]

Is'nt that Mr Ed on the cover?

[lefty5128]

How is Wildfire a love song?

Well it is if you're Mr Ed I guess.

The 70's had lots of good love songs though.

Anarchy In The UK by the Sex Pistols was a great 70's love song.

[mikemosocw]

yeah right, lying cunt!

[burnabybrent]

I nned that in 8-track! LOL!

[Shaddoedenise]

Cool! : )

[marksoutof10]

I wouldn't describe 'I Can See Clearly Now' as a "love" song. A song of cheerful optimism, certainly, but where exactly does the love element come into it?

[bartonim]

Agreed! And Johnny Nash also had a great hit with Hold Me Tight, done in reggae style. There are a few other songs on this that are good, but it's top-heavy with syrup, isn't it?

[ph1sts]

Wildfire

Yuck!

I dated a girl who owned a horse around the time this song came out, she was the only person who rode it, but she had me try. After getting in the saddle, the horse didn't move, so I gave it a kick with my heels..big mistake!! The horse took off like a bullet, rearing up, bucking like a bronco, and trying to bite me, but it never was able to knock me off. I remembered reading that biting an untamed horse's ear would calm it down, and after a few tries, it worked and I got off it

[iloveretro77]

Yeah I have to get these on 8-track!! Only $9.99!! What a deal! To tell the truth, you can't beat those songs from back in the day.

[pannoni1]

Not much from the LATE '70s however. (Think You Light Up My Life, Reunited, How Deep Is Your Love).

[chazcov08]

Wow! I used to love ALL of these songs back in the day! Oh, the memories....

[laminage]

My favorites were Disco Rock, Bad, Superbad, and Girls Girls Girls. Back in the day, you couldn't have a party without one of these Albums in your collection. Hard to believe that these guys almost went bankrupt but came back. I think that in it's own way, it would be the prototype for Time-Life Music Informercials seen late at night.

[yogafan6500]

Wow!!! what a clasic collection of those cool tunes from the 1970's.And they're a lot more better than today's shit like Britney Spears, The Dixie chicks,& Josh Kelley among others. But i Rather still like Eminem,Shakira,Toby Keith,Kanye West,Velvet Revolver,Rage against the Machine,Jewel,Metallica,Joss Stone,& Norah Jones. And the 3 greatest singing legends that i still admired the most... Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles.

[chrismasonyerblooz]

Wildfire?? That's about a dead horse!!lol!

[ttwnrancon]

They say the songs are from the original stars but Carl Carlton's version of "Everlasting Love" was a cover of a song done first by Robert Knight in 1967 (though a British band called The Love Affair would also have a hit in England with the song in '67 or '68). Ironic, ain't it.

[Attmay]

Some of these are hardly "love" songs. "Shannon" by Henry Gross is about a little girl who falls off a boat and drowns. Not very romantic.

[ttwnrancon]

Actually, according to an interview I read on Henry Gross, "Shannon" is about a dog dying. Have to agree with you about some of these not being love songs though.

[MrSteveUtah]

I have written to Henry from New Zealand and he has told me it is about Don Henlys Dog,Hard to bet that

[BrynMawrYamBag]

ORDER NOW AND WE WILL THROW IN 3 FREE CANS OF RON POPIELS Spray Paint for bald spots. Order Now LOL

[Chiffon56]

PLUS...It slices and dices!! But don't order JUST YET!...

[rgraff4098]

I used to work at Lakeshore Music. Do you have any more?

[beckigreen]

What did you do there? Thats awesome.

[wildbilltexas]

Damn, no CD.

[TheNEWDink412]

My mother's old tapes are full of this stuff. I love it!

[carlosdangerous]

Me too. My dad has all of those compilation albums. I love them. Full of number-one hits and beautiful music. Those album were the Now series of the past. Beautiful music on them.

[ProductionX]

Heh, the kind of LP ads I would see all the time!
